This new adventure captures the twists and turns of a family drama in a wild horse wilderness.
Acclaimed wildlife filmmaker Ginger Kathrens has been filming the life of the remarkable wild stallion, Cloud, since the day of his brith in 1995, allowing viewers to watch as he grew from tiny foal to the powerful leader of the largest band of wild horses in the Arrowhead Mountains. Along the way, much has been learned about wild horse society and the importance of family and loyalty in their dangerous and unpredicatble world.
In this chapter of his story, Cloud is one of two fathers who bring up each other's sons. Bolder, is Cloud's son by birth - beautiful and golden, but raised by Shaman, a rival band stallion. Flint, dark and determined, was sired by Shaman, but became Cloud's adopted son. The two sons mature and progress from playful youths into valid contenders for mares and bands of thier own. Will one of them rise to take Cloud's place?
This poignant and engrossing chronicle explores the challenges presented not only by ambitious sons, but also by the harsh mountain weather, deadly mountain lion attacks, and the changing relationships within and among bands of wild horses in the mountains.
